Dear Ms Hartman,

I have a feeling there has been a little misunderstanding here. Enforcer III is an assault rifle, capable of selective fire and most effective up to 450 yards. For reference, a typical laser-based assault rife used by our marines has a nominal effective range of 350 yards due to limitations of beam lenses' effectiveness. However, even with its longer effective range and optional targeting systems Enforcer III is not a sniper rifle. In comparison to a typical laser-based assault rifle it delivers more damage more precisely at the cost of slightly shorter bursts and a bit higher heat generation. As an assault rifle Enforcer III allows semi-automatic and two different burst fire modes. In rapid and standard burst modes it shoots either 8 or 4 beams in one second salvo. While it is not a flak-type weapon useful while storming a hostile ship or performing close quarters combat, I cannot imagine a situation when a marine detachment is composed of less than half soldiers equipped with assault rifles. While flak weapons are effective in close quarters combat, they are useless during hostage situations, when storming a ship with civilians on-board or in any larger compartment. However, I am not a combat tactics specialist.

I have a feeling that there has been also a misunderstanding concerning the stage in which Enforcer III project currently is. Detroit Munitions has its own firing ranges where both our standard and prototype arms are being tested. Additionally, as you can imagine, due to increased activity of terrorist organizations such as the Lane Hackers, as well as considering the fact that Ageira Technologies is working on numerous top secret projects, we are forced to keep a strong Security Division, which is recruited mostly from ex-military veterans. We have already performed and completed general effectiveness, stress and reliability tests. Enforcer III is ready for field combat trials, this I can assure you.

I understand that you wish for a demonstration. I will dispatch a shuttle from Detroit Munitions with 6 Enforcer III prototypes and a team of our weapon specialists to Manhattan.

I sincerely hope that you will be pleased with the results and we will be able to come to a mutually satisfactory agreement. Should you find any obstacles to such an outcome, please let me know and I will do whatever in my power to remove them.

Yours faithfully,
Sebastian Hart,
